Eggless Butterless Chocolate Cupcakes

Eggless Butterless Chocolate Cupcakes

I made this super easy and super moist vegan cupcake to take along to my sister place but last moment we couldn’t go and thus it making it to blog. This cupcakes are very easy to prepare it doesn’t require any beater or special gadgets, just mix everything with a spatula and we are ready to go, added bonus this one is eggless plus butter less.
I have made few batches as it’s very simple recipe and all the ingredients always easy to find in pantry and always result in soft and moist cupcakes. These cupcakes are good by itself but of course frosting does add extra frill, I run out of butter so I didn’t do frosting but just sprinkle some chocolate rise. If you wish you can do frosting and enjoy these yummy cupcakes. Ingredients: [Yield 6 cupcakes]
